New Geek Bigger is better... :)
I got to say that since getting into invicta, i realize bigger is better. Holds true for my women and my watches. I like going out and having all eyes in the room on my badass timepieces. I have had so many people ask where i got them, how much i paid and even offer me money to sell to them. I love them so big that they make a statement. I can't go back to the silly sizes of 40-45mm..The fatties are here to stay IMO, and Invicta makes other manufacturers of Fine swiss watches look like chumps/old fashioned. I get more for my money with eyals timepieces and they totally sing to me. The designs are to die for and I have already sold off my "High end" stuff like my Rolex and Tag to fund even more Invictas!!!!

Agree big is one thing Invicta does rather well. I disagree however, in that there are far too many really good 40-45mm watches out there to ignore. 4052mm is my range __________________ My watch, knife and flashlight reviews

Welcome to the forum. Tell you what. Don't go around calling my sweet spot of watch sizes silly, and I won't go around calling the large sizes that you enjoy silly. There's room enough for everyone here. __________________ I take great pride in being humble. And I don't eat more than a quarter pie at once.

I had no problem going back. I respect your love of larger pieces, and will not mock them. We all have our own likes, and should be able to pursue them without referring to anything else as "silly".

I agree with you about liking my watches like my women, but in my case I say that great ones come in all shapes and sizes!

While I do prefer 45-52mm, I still like smaller watches for wear at work.

I ended up taking my Rollies to the safety deposit box at my bank since all I wear is my 50 plus millimeter watches. I too get more compliments than my higher end watches and love to see the expression of some that ask about them. Eyal has some amazing designs!

That's great. However, if you're serious about the art of watchmaking, don't be surprised if you change your mind later. But for now, have fun and enjoy those biggies.

I am serious about the art of watchmaking, thats why i buy Invicta. Eyal is who got me into looking at these are true art pieces, crap most are hand built, ill bet you don't get that in most "high end" brands.

I am with IronCross Big watches no problem, big girls aint my thang! As far as the serious watch collector deal, dont listen just wear what you like and forget the snob crowd! The main thing I have learned over the 10 yrs of serious watch wearing/learning is high end doesnt mean high end! __________________ You cant fix STUPID!!!

I have big watches and small watches that I like a lot; also big watches and small watches that I like not so much. Just depends where my head's at on a given occasion. God help me if I were ever to limit myself to any specific size, shape, color, configuration, movement type or what ever other sub category
there might be.

Yup... lets all just buy and wear what we like. I like the big ones too, but i can appreciate the smaller cases also. when you say big women, do you mean thick? I like 'em kinda jiggly myself!!!

Poor you. With a 6 3/4 wrist, I too attracted attention when I wore large pieces. I am surprised that with such a large wrist that anyone notices the size of your watch. trip_67 View Public Profile Send a private message to trip_67 Find all posts by trip_67 Add trip_67 to Your Contacts #30 Yesterday, 06:03 PM

I always find it's best to buy what you enjoy. Wear what you enjoy. And share what you enjoy. All the while, respecting others choices, which inevitably will be different. That's what makes it fun for everyone. Big, small, quartz, auto, bracelet or not... & everything in between. Welcome to the forum & enjoy our hobby.

Unfortunately, Invicta's smaller designs are too overlooked in my opinion. They make some really nice smaller watches that get pushed aside by the big fellas that take up the limelight. I have them in all sizes from a 59 mm Sea Hunter to a 44 mm Scuba. I like and wear them all a lot, regardless of size.
